She was called "thrifty" back then...reusing canning jars and always returing them if she was gifted something. Clothes that couldn't be given to someone else were turned into cleaning rags, doll clothes, sewing lessons for us girls and quilt blocks. Buttons were saved from cast off clothes( how I wish I had that huge jar now) sewing kits were made from fruitcake and cookie tins from relatives in far away states....how blessed we have been to have such women play important roles in making us the women we are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991513780175755542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909575150882551215.post-76835303887201019472016-01-15T19:59:04.540-05:002016-01-15T19:59:04.540-05:00Thanks for reading, Wanda, and for taking the time...Thanks for reading, Wanda, and for taking the time to comment. It's much appreciated. And it's cool that your mom is open to learning new things as well. I'd like to hear more about kefir grains.Green Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988134199408897833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909575150882551215.post-21240185374889657062016-01-15T17:12:25.792-05:002016-01-15T17:12:25.792-05:00My mom sounds very much like yours!

She dries her laundry on a line, even in the freezing winter, she plants a garden every year (and cans the harvest each fall), and she is very open to learning new healthier ways of doing things. I recently passed some kefir grains along to her after telling her how much of a difference they make in my overall feeling of well-being. I love seeing her learn and embrace new things about eating and living a cleaner life.<br /><br />And I'm so glad to "indulge" you and read this. I've been realizing more and more that we should embrace the sadness we feel when someone is gone, simply because the sadness reveals how much love was shared because of their place in your life.<br /><br />Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949988094416061716noreply@blogger.com
